Come out Vir-gin-ia, don't let me wait
You Cath-o-lic girls start much too late
Aw But soon-er or lat-er it comes down to fate
I might as well be the one
VERSE 2 same as 1
Well, They showed you a statue, told you to pray
For On-ly the good die young
That's what I said
On-ly the good die young x2
You might have heard I run with
a dan-ger-ous crowd
We ain't too pret-ty we ain't too proud
We might be laugh-ing a bit too loud
But that nev-er hurt no one
So come on Vir-gin-ia show me a sign
Send up a sig-nal I'll throw you a line
That stained-glass cur-tain
you're hid-ing be-hind
Nev-er lets in the sun
Darl-in' on-ly the good die young woh
I tell ya on-ly the good die young x2
BRIDGE
You got a nice white dress and a
Par-ty on your Con-fir-ma-tion
You got a brand new soul
Mmmm, And a Cross of gold
It's a pit-y they did-n't give you
quite e-nough in-for-ma-tion
You did-n't count on me
When you were count-ing on your Ro-sa-ry
Oh oh oh
They say there's a Hea-ven
for those who will wait
Some say it's bet-ter but I say it ain't
I'd rath-er laugh with the sin-ners
than cry with the saints
The sin-ners are much more fun
You know that on-ly the good die young
